Críticas:
"Larry Powell has broken new ground...there is real strength in the wealth of information on individual players, much of it drawn from personal interviews"--Midwest Book Review; "Larry Powell provides not only a history of this Southern staple of Negro League Baseball, but first hand narratives from the players who lived to tell it. You will discover names of the greats that you never saw play, and by the end of the book you will wish you had been there to see them. These are the stories of the Birmingham Black Barons, and they are the ones that our future generations need to hear"--Baseball Happenings.
Reseña del editor:
This book on the Birmingham Black Barons takes a unique approach to the history of a Negro League team and its players. The first half of the book emphasizes the accomplishments of both within the organized black leagues of the 1920s, the 1930s, and the years 1940 through 1947 (the year Robinson broke the color line). In the second half, the author changes tack, devoting chapters to the Black Barons of subsequent decades, the former Barons invited to Tryout Camps, others who were signed with minor league clubs, and the fortunate few who got their long-awaited chance at the major leagues.
